Presented is the case of a 62-year old male with a history of sarcoidosis and sinus node dysfunction, who underwent late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging, which demonstrated left ventricular hyperenhancement and bi-atrial fibrosis.

Case Report: Restrictive cardiomyopathy due to a rare mutation in troponin I () in a patient.
Front Cardiovasc Med
November 2024
Comprehensive Pediatrics, Kunming Children's Hospital, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a rare heart condition called restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), which typically involves normal or reduced heart chamber sizes and enlargement of the atria, mainly caused by genetic mutations, with heart transplantation being the primary treatment option.
- - It presents a specific case of a 2-year-old boy from China who exhibited symptoms like bruising and swelling, leading to a diagnosis of RCM linked to a mutation in the TNNI3 gene, but unfortunately, he passed away two months later despite conservative treatment.
- - The study highlights the crucial role of cardiac MRI and genetic testing in diagnosing RCM, as well as the variability of TNNI3 mutations among different populations, urging further research to enhance precision treatment strategies for
Atrial Fibrillation in Elite Athletes: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
October 2024
Medical School of Athens, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 15772 Athens, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- Despite established benefits of exercise, the link between exercise training and atrial fibrillation (AF) in competitive athletes is still debated.!
- High-intensity endurance athletes have a 2 to 10 times greater risk of developing AF compared to non-exercisers, influenced by factors like age, gender, and exercise type.!
- The exact cause of AF in elite athletes is unclear, but potential contributing factors include bi-atrial dilation, pulmonary vein stretching, and cardiac inflammation, while management lacks specific guidelines for this population.!
Multiparametric Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Assessment in Sickle Beta Thalassemia.
Diagnostics (Basel)
March 2024
Istituto di Radiologia, Dipartimento di Medicina, Università di Padova, 35128 Padova, Italy.
Cardiac involvement in sickle beta thalassemia (Sβ-thal) patients has been poorly investigated. We aimed to evaluate cardiac function and myocardial iron overload by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with Sβ-thal. One-hundred and eleven Sβ-thal patients consecutively enrolled in the Myocardial Iron Overload in Thalassemia (MIOT) network were studied and compared with 46 sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients and with 111 gender- and age- matched healthy volunteers.

Department of Radiology, Fondazione G. Monasterio CNR-Regione Toscana, Via Moruzzi, 1, 56124, Pisa, Italy.
We evaluated the impact of the genotype on clinical and hematochemical features, hepatic and cardiac iron levels, and endocrine, hepatic, and cardiovascular complications in non-transfusion-dependent (NTD) β-thalassemia intermedia (TI) patients. Sixty patients (39.09 ± 11.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disease that leads to the accumulation of glucocerebroside within reticuloendothelial cells, haematological, neurological, skeletal and abdominal organs. These clinical manifestations are common to all types of GD, but categorization depends on the absence of neurological involvement (type I) or its presence (type II and III). Cardiac involvement is rare and only reported in few cases, where valvular and aortic calcifications were associated with type IIIc.
